“A pampered stay.”
We love how beautiful the rooms are, the private onsens, sauna, and the natural setting where you could hear the birds in the morning. The staff were thoughtful and considerate. They offered to drive my elderly parents from our room to the dining room for dinner when it was dark and harder to see the path clearly.

“Unique, luxurious stay with outstanding hospitality.”
Sen-no-Mori exceeded our expectations. We had a warm welcome and received assistance with our luggage, then the journey began. We were led down a stone path into a lush, green forest - a stunning setting for the entire residence. Our villa was tucked in furthest away from the main road/entrance and was very private. The interior was well-appointed, clean and evoked a rustic sense of luxury. The surrounds were beautiful and the floor to ceiling windows in the sitting area framed the boreal landscape perfectly. Meals were excellent and were kaiseki style - served course by course in a private dining room. The food was high quality and delicious, and they made special arrangements for our 1.5 y.o. daughter. Most importantly, our hosts were very helpful and frequently went out of their way to provide us with a comfortable stay. The whole experience felt very personal and bespoke, and differentiated Sen-no-Mori from larger hotels/ryokans where service is more perfunctory. After check out, I realised I left our valuables in the safety deposit box in the room, and our host was kind enough to hold the items for us till we returned a few hours later, with all the graciousness we had come to receive throughout our stay. Overall, we highly recommend staying at Sen-no-Mori for a unique and relaxing experience.

Very nice place in the forest. There are only three suites, and the privacy is very good. Dinner and breakfast is great. First time to try horse meat very delicious. Excellent service.
